Humanoid robots place extreme demands on their drive systems. Precision, dynamics, and reliability depend largely on the quality of the gear components used—especially in compact, high-load joint actuators.In this webinar, we’ll show which workpieces determine the performance of humanoid robots and how these components can be effectively manufactured. The focus is on key gear components and the resulting requirements for precision, tolerances, and process reliability.In Focus: Components for Modern Robotics DrivesHumanoid robots combine different gear concepts to precisely replicate human movements. Several key components are central to this:• Circular splines with high-precision internal teeth• Flexsplines as thin-walled, flexible shaft wheels• Wave generators with elliptical functional contours• Planetary gears for compact, high-torque gearboxes• Planetary roller lead screws for linear actuatorsThese components directly determine the positioning accuracy, running characteristics, and service life of the entire drive system.Why these components are challenging to manufactureAll of the components in question present multiple challenges:• very tight form and position tolerances• thin-walled or delicate geometries• complex gear teeth or elliptical contours• high requirements for reproducibility in series production• high demands on the machinability of high-strength or hardened materialsThis is precisely where it is determined whether a gear concept works in the lab—or can be reliably used in industrial applications.What to expect in the webinar• Overview of key gear components in humanoid robots• Typical workpiece-related requirements from real-world applications• Production-oriented classification of accuracy, tolerances, and process stability• Practical examples from real-world robotics and gear applications• Insights into how complex workpieces can be manufactured economically and reproducibly

Humanoid robots place extreme demands on their drive systems. Precision, dynamics, and reliability depend largely on the quality of the transmission components used – especially in compact, heavy-duty joint actuators.In this webinar, we show which workpieces determine the performance of humanoid robots and how these components can be mastered in terms of manufacturing technology. The focus is on key transmission components and the resulting requirements for precision, tolerances, and process reliability.In focus: Workpieces for modern robotics drivesHumanoid robots combine different gear concepts to achieve high precision in replicating human movements. Several key components are central to this:

Circular splines with high-precision internal teeth

Flexsplines as thin-walled, flexible shaft wheels

Wave generators with elliptical functional contours

Planetary gears for compact, high-torque gearboxes

Planetary roller screws for linear actuators

These workpieces directly determine the positioning accuracy, running behavior, and service life of the entire drive system.Why these components are challenging to manufactureAll of the components under consideration combine several challenges:

Very tight form and position tolerances

Thin-walled or filigree geometries

Complex tooth profiles or elliptical contours

High requirements for reproducibility in series production

This is precisely where it is decided whether a gear concept works in the laboratory – or can be reliably used in industrial applications.What you can expect in the webinar

Global demand for defense equipment is rising—and with it, the pressure on manufacturers to build production capacity quickly, economically, and to the highest quality standards. Whether artillery ammunition, rifle barrels, or cannon barrels: manufacturers in the defense industry need a partner who not only supplies machines but also masters the entire process. What you can expect in this webinar:Turning solutions for artillery ammunition How do you mass-produce 155 mm shells made of high-strength steel – with quantities ranging from 5,000 to 100,000 components per year and more? Learn about the machine concept EMAG has developed for this purpose, how a production line with over 90 percent technical availability is implemented, and why conventional automation concepts are reaching their limits. In addition: proven solutions for tank and mortar ammunition. ECM rifling for small, medium, and large calibers Electrochemical rifling is revolutionizing barrel production: contact-free, tension-free, with integrated process control. Find out why progressive rifling significantly extends barrel life, how it compares to conventional methods in terms of cost, and what new generation of machines EMAG has developed for medium-caliber gun barrels up to three meters in length. Also: an outlook on ECM machining of 155 mm gun barrels with lengths of up to 12 meters. Your advantages at a glance EMAG is not just a machine supplier. As a global turnkey expert, EMAG supplies the machines, the process, the automation, and the OEE expertise from a single source—validated by plant simulation, backed by reference projects with renowned manufacturers in the defense industry, and supported by worldwide service. Confidential participation The names and company affiliations of participants are not visible during the entire webinar—neither to other participants nor in the list of participants. Your name is only visible to EMAG as the organizer. This allows you to find out about the latest manufacturing solutions discreetly and without obligation.

Are you also facing the challenge of outdated production systems? In the modern manufacturing industry, companies are faced with a dilemma: on the one hand, the demands for precision, energy efficiency and digitalization are constantly increasing. On the other hand, new investments in machine tools are associated with considerable costs. At the same time, spare parts for older control and drive technology are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, while worn mechanical components impair production quality.The solution: Professional retrofitting from EMAGRetrofit means much more than simple repair or retrofitting. It is a comprehensive modernization process that turns proven machine concepts into state-of-the-art production solutions. With EMAG's retrofit concepts, you can transform your existing systems into high-performance, future-proof machine tools - at capital investments that are 15 to 30 percent lower than a comparable new purchase.Topics:
